Nestjs OpenTelemetry

Overview

The Nestjs OpenTelemetry library is a powerful tool designed for developers working with the Nestjs framework. This library brings comprehensive support for monitoring and tracing applications, regardless of the protocols being used, such as RabbitMQ, GRPC, and HTTP. By integrating seamlessly into Nestjs, it allows users to observe and trace specific layers like Pipes, Guards, Controllers, and Providers, making it an invaluable asset for ensuring application performance and reliability.

Moreover, the library offers features like auto trace and metric instrumentations that are compatible with popular Nestjs libraries, enhancing the monitoring capabilities of applications without requiring significant manual configuration.

Features
